Chapter 1732: Sister-in-law, Is There Something You Want to Tell Me?
After Qiu Shaofeng returned and caused that scene, the Qiu family finally quieted down.
Qiu Shaohu and the people from the An family who went to cause trouble were directly sentenced to three months.
This also led to a direct rift between the Qiu family's eldest branch and second branch.
To show their determination, the Qiu family's eldest branch directly hired someone to build a wall in the middle of the courtyard and opened a new gate.
However, no one in the village spoke up for them; after all, they had plotted first, so it was their own doing.
Qiu Shaofeng's mood was somewhat affected; after all, they had grown up together, and Xia Qiu now focused entirely on the child in her belly, thinking of nothing else.
Later, when Qiu Shaomei got married, Xia Qiu did not return to attend the wedding, citing an unstable pregnancy; instead, she asked Qiu Shaofeng to take two pieces of fabric back as a wedding gift.
Qiu Shaofeng, remembering the brother-sister bond they shared since childhood, privately gave Qiu Shaomei twenty yuan: "Just keep this money to yourself; consider it your elder brother's contribution to your dowry."
Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu knew that the previous incident had caused Xia Qiu distress, so when Xia Qiu did not return, whether her pregnancy was truly unstable or not, they did not raise any objections.
Instead, when Qiu Shaofeng left, he brought along quite a few things: "I have sorted these out for you; take some back to your in-laws."
Qiu Shaofeng did not refuse: "I understand."
Days passed, and soon this semester was about to end; Liu Chuxue had no plans to skip grades, and after the exams ended, she prepared to take Aunt Wei and the others back to the military district to stay for a while.
Song Sanrui and Gu Xiaomi would stay behind to look after the house.
It is worth mentioning that after some time of recuperation, Gu Xiaomi had gained quite a bit of weight and had just been found to be pregnant.
Upon learning that Gu Xiaomi was pregnant, Song Sanrui, a grown man, cried bitterly; seeing Liu Chuxue return, he said: "Sister-in-law, thank you so much. If you hadn't reminded me to take Xiaomi to see the Physician to adjust her body, I wouldn't have become a father so soon."
"Sister-in-law, rest assured; even though Xiaomi is pregnant, it won't affect me taking good care of the triplets."
The speed at which his tone shifted made Liu Chuxue somewhat speechless, caught between laughter and tears.
She understood what he meant by saying this, but he was too blunt; he didn't even fear his wife getting angry at him.
As soon as the exams ended, Liu Chuxue took Aunt Wei, her grandchildren, and the triplets onto the bus back to the military district.
As soon as they boarded, a military wife approached: "Liu Chuxue, you are finally going back to the dependents' compound; you can't just focus on studying and neglect your family."
Liu Chuxue, being so sensitive, immediately heard that this sister-in-law had something to say: "Sister-in-law, is there something you want to tell me?"
That sister-in-law's face showed some hesitation, but thinking that they were both women and both military wives, she finally couldn't hold back: "During the time you were away, a female comrade named Bai Jingjing came to the dependents' compound and kept trying to get close to Regiment Commander Fu."
Perhaps fearing something might happen, she added in a low voice: "This matter is one-sided on that woman's part; Regiment Commander Fu is actively avoiding her, and we all see it clearly."
Saying she wasn't angry would be a lie, but Liu Chuxue still suppressed her displeasure and asked: "What is that woman's background?"
Hearing the question, that sister-in-law said: "She is Deputy Battalion Commander Sun's younger sister-in-law. I heard she was kicked out by her in-laws and came to seek refuge with her own sister."
"Does that sister-in-law know why that woman was kicked out?"
That sister-in-law actually laughed: "I heard she gave birth to four money-losing goods and even instigated her husband to get a vasectomy. When her mother-in-law learned her son had been sterilized, she simply couldn't take it anymore and kicked the woman out without a second thought."
